Methanol → 4-(3-Chlorobenzyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized from methyl 4-(3-chlorobenzyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate (261 mg, 0.90 mmol) and lithium hydroxide (188 mg, 4.50 mmol in 3 mL H2O), according to General Procedure 7. A 1:1 mixture of methanol (MeOH) and THF (6 mL) was used. The resulting product was purified by chromatography, eluting with heptane-EtOAc, gradient 0 to 50% EtOAc to afford the title compound. 147 mg. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 2.06-2.17 (m, 1H) 2.53-2.64 (m, 1H) 2.64-2.73 (m, 2H) 2.73-2.85 (m, 2H) 3.26-3.36 (m, 1H) 6.52 (d, J=1.32 Hz, 1H) 7.08 (dt, 1H) 7.19-7.26 (m, 3H) 8.87 (br. s, 1H).
